Question

A trapaziod has an area of 150 square meters if the bases are 14 meters and 16 meters what is the height of the trapoziod

Answer 1

h = 10m

Explanation:

The formula of an area of a trapezoid:

`A=(b_1+b_2)/(2)\cdot h`

b₁, b₂ - bases

h - height

We have A = 150 m², b₁ = 14m, b₂ = 16m. Substitute:

`(14+16)/(2)\cdot h=150\\\\(30)/(2)h=150`

`15h=150` divide both sides by 15

`h=10\ m`
